GLEE creator Ryan Murphy says he expects some of the stars of his hit music show to leave at the end of 2012.

Glee centres on the teachers and students of fictional McKinley High and Murphy wants the show to replicate a real high school with older students graduating and replaced by new faces.

Murphy has introduced Chord Overstreet as Sam Evans in the current second series to start the process.

"Every year we?re going to populate a new group," Murphy says. "There's nothing more depressing than a high schooler with a bald spot.

Murphy has nominated the end of the 2012 season of Glee as the likely time for cast exits.

Murphy admits to angst about any core cast leaving.

Stars including Lea Michelle, Cory Monteith, Dianna Agron, Chris Colfer and Kevin McHale have all sprung to worldwide fame playing Glee students.

"I think you have to be true to the fact that here is a group of people who come and go in these teachers' lives ? they graduate and they're gone," Murphy says.

"When some of them finish their run at high school it will be very teary episodes.

"For me it will be particularly tough but a new crop (of actors) will come in."

Glee has been averaging around 12 million viewers in the USA and around 1.3 million in Australia but you would expect that figure to rise significantly for any "farewell" episodes.

Murphy says that he discussed 'graduating' core cast with Glee co-executive producer Ian Brennan and Brad Falchuk.

"I was concerned about that (whether to have characters graduate and leave the show) because those kids caught on so quickly ? but I think one of the things I'm very happy we?ve been able to do this years is we?ve brought in new characters."

"I think if you can keep regenerating ? and I didn?t think we could ? I didn?t know if people would want those characters (like Sam) but they do."

    • Major Xbox layoffs may claim South of Midnight developer Compulsion entirely

      By Abercrombe · Posted

      Ninja Theory was great until Microsoft acquired them. They let them spend a decade on two games, with a third on the way, that explore mental health and were OK interactive experiences. Sony appears to be able to choose better IPs to develop, particularly single player. I'm probably going to buy a PS5 just for Wolverine and God of War Laufey (which reminds me of Heavenly Sword when Ninja Theory was with Sony making games).

      Good riddance to a terrible studio. They've done nothing but over promise features and fall flat with the releases they've put out.

      By Ivan Jenic · Posted

      Marshall Major V Bluetooth headphones are now up to 47% off on Amazon by Ivan Jenic The Marshall Major V in Midnight Blue is currently $89.99 on Amazon, down from $169.99. That's 47% off and $80 saved on a pair of wireless on-ear headphones from one of the most recognizable names in audio. The Major V is Marshall's take on a long-lasting everyday headphone. The headphones deliver 100+ hours of wireless playtime, which puts them in a completely different category from most Bluetooth headphones that hover around 30-40 hours. You’re charging this thing once a week at most, and with wireless charging supported, you don’t have to worry about additional cables. Marshall promises its signature sound profile, with strong bass, smooth mids, and clear highs. There’s a customizable M-button, which you can set to quickly access Spotify Tap, your EQ settings, or a voice assistant. The design is foldable and lightweight at 186 grams, so it’s easy to pack for travel. And finally, the faux leather finish gives the Major V a sleek, premium look. At $89.99, the Major V Midnight Blue is a genuinely strong buy for anyone who wants a reliable daily headphone without paying premium prices. It’s also worth mentioning that the Cream and Brown variants are also discounted to $89.99, though from a lower original price of $99.99.
